Quartersawn white oak uses the more
difficult and costly quartersawing method to
yield material with a distinctive grain pattern
and superior stability.

quartersawnwhite oak
Offered in several versions of the popular
Pendleton door style, it is the perfect choice
for Mission-themed creations. Quartersawn
white oak is also very receptive to glazing,
which highlights its unique grain.
Please be aware that some other cabinetry
brands will include cheaper non-quartersawn
components with their quartersawn doors.
Showplace does not do this. We use genuine
quartersawn white oak for face frames,
end panels, and coordinating elements like
moldings on all quartersawn cabinetry orders.

the subtle gray wash finishes
Wash finishes are similar to glazes, but have a more uniform, all-over application. The result is a finish that
suggests a subtle patina of aging. Offered on all of our standard wood species, gray washes accent either
the midtoned Rockport stain, or the dark Peppercorn stain. Washes are offered at no additional charge.

Most stains tend to mute variations in the wood â&#x20AC;&#x201D;
the darker the stain, the more variation is hidden.

character stains
But for those who appreciate the inherent

variability, distinctive grain and unique personality
of natural hardwood, we offer the Showplace
character stains: Dusk, Midnight and Tawny.

The appeal of Showplace character
stains is their ability to provide
a rich, somewhat translucent
look that accentuates grain and
celebrates the variation found in
natural wood characteristics. The
Showplace character stains are
offered at no additional charge.

additional finish step in which a pigmented material
is applied to the surfaces, then hand-wiped partially
away. This allows the glazing to â&#x20AC;&#x153;hangupâ&#x20AC;? in areas of
detail, adding visual contrast and depth. Because of the
handcrafted nature of glazing, it is naturally variable, a
unique expression of the artisanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s craft.

handcrafted glazing
Glazing can be subtle or dramatic, depending upon the
base and glaze colors chosen. A dark glaze on a light
stain or paint color can create a pinstriped impression,
whereas a light glaze might be almost invisible. Talk
to your Showplace designer for good advice on how to
achieve the look you want.

Showplace distressing includes your choice of oversanding, chain
distressing, or both. Distressed paint finishes can also display optional
rub-through. In the examples shown above, note the oversanding and
rub-through that is visible on corners and raised areas. Also note the
random dents created by hand-applied chain distressing techniques.
An even higher level of aged character is available with the Showplace
Vintage finish (pages 22-23, and shown below) which includes
proprietary distressing techniques available only from Showplace.

paint options

Showplace paints are offered on maple, red
oak and rustic alder. We also offer a couple
of lower-cost paint-only choices: paint grade
and MDF. With our paint-grade cabinetry, doors
and five-piece drawer headers have a solid
fine-grain hardwood frame. Center panels and
slab headers are of Medium Density Fibercore
(MDF), which is an engineered wood product. In
MDF styles the entire door is MDF. In both, face
frames and moldings are solid hardwood, and
painted end panels are hardwood ply. MDF is
used by cabinetry manufacturers of all quality
levels because it is more stable than solid
hardwood and will not expand and contract
with seasonal changes. However, MDF is a
